Although the Swede has been struggling recently with knee injuries, he is scheduled to be back for his favorite tournament this summer. With already 8 Wimbledon titles in his name, Federer’s career may be coming to a close soon (via Yahoo Sports).
But like the old saying goes, behind every great man is an even greater woman, even more so in the world of sports. So who is the woman behind tennis’ greatest man?

After the Olympics, Federer and Vavrinec would continue to play together in mixed doubles and to represent their county. Already dating, the two continued to have some of the sweetest on-court moments as they played against Lleyton Hewitt and Alicia Molik (via YouTube).
After she retired in 2002 due to persistent injuries, Mirka became Federer’s manager (via Yahoo Sports). The two dated until marrying in 2009, before becoming parents to a set of twin girls — Charlene and Myla, aged 11 — and twin boys — Lenny and Leo, aged 7 (via Who).
